Pros

Pay for overtime is common *Certain engineers* are extraordinary at what they do, and if you get the opportunity to work with them, you will greatly benefit from their expertise. Flexibility to work from home when needed You’ll frequently come to work that day expecting to work on a certain project and end up on something totally different. This can be good and bad. Starting hours are typically flexible, which is a really nice perk. Nobody is making sure you’re in your seat at a certain time. Most employees are surprisingly responsive and friendly.

Cons

They will put junior engineers in way over their head with customer-facing integration roles just to save money on labor and when it blows up in their face tell the engineer "don't feel bad for being average". If you're new and naive, they will motivate you to work extremely hard with the prospect of a raise, and when their poorly planned projects cave-in on themselves, they'll forget all the hard work you did. Yearly raises are typically less than the cost of living Work/life balance is mediocre at best. Inadequate parking. It’s always seemingly a few steps away from massive failure. If you want a snack, there's a full price vending machine.

Pros

Missions are impactful to the world Top talent in specialized fields Wonderful people Respectful environment

Cons

Processes and policies are not robust enough to support the large growth / merger, which leaves everyone operating in silos and interpreting things in their own ways Shared service model is not structured properly Not enough critical thinking around how budgets should be allocated for tools, capital, and salaries Higher level leaders are too in the weeds and not working on the harder strategic aspects Businesses are not aligned with common products to gain best synergies as all businesses fight to defend $s not what actually makes sense for the company (radios sharing same suppliers are in completely different segments; CCAs are built across 10+ different factories managed by different management teams instead of a couple of large COEs) All leaders felt unempowered due to lack of ownership of budgets. Budgets were set but then adjusted at further levels without any additional discussion of new targets and how to achieve. Then budgets would be reallocated a few months into year if you weren't demonstrating that you truly need it. This drove teams to spend heavy up front and not make the smartest decisions at times
